Hunted Hybrid Aegis War Saga 1 Chapter 16 Daxon POV :. I woke up to the scent of wildflowers and moonlight tangled in my sheets . Her . Elowen . 64 Her legs were wrapped around mine like she belonged there , and fuck me , maybe she did . Her soft breathing tickled my chest as her face rested against me , hair spilling like dark silk down her back , the silver and blue tips glinting in the early light . And those perfect tits were pressed against me , begging for attention . I couldn't not look . Couldn't not want . My cock throbbed just from breathing the , same damn air as her . I needed her again , not rough , not rushed..just worship . Just taste . I slid down slowly , careful not to wake her as I settled between her thighs and kissed the inside of her knee . She murmured something in her sleep , but didn't stir . I pressed another kiss higher . Then another . My hands eased her thighs apart , reverently , like I was unveiling something sacred . Because I was . I licked a slow stripe up her pussy and nearly lost my fucking mind . She gasped awake the moment my mouth found her clit and I sucked , gently at first , then rougher when she moaned and bucked . " Daxon ! " she panted , but her hips were already riding my face . " Oh fuck ! " She came with a cry , thighs trembling around my head , hands buried in my hair as I drank every drop of her release like the fucking addict I already was . Mine . All mine . I crawled back up , wiping my mouth with the back of my hand and smirking like the cocky bastard I was . She was breathless and flushed , hair wild , eyes shining . " Good morning , " I murmured , kissing her temple . She just laughed and smacked my chest . 1/5 11:56 Mon , Sep 22 Chapter 16 We got dressed , her in jeans and a hoodie , me in my usual black tee and sweats , and headed to breakfast . She looked ... right in my world . Like my universe had been tilted all this time and only just now corrected itself . 64 We walked into the great hall together , hand in hand , like we were daring the entire pack to say something . Alpha Draven raised a brow , then broke into a grin . Luna Aelira gasped , clutching her heart . " Oh my stars .. " I pulled out a chair for Elowen and kissed her knuckles before sitting beside her . " Guess we're doing this , " I muttered under my breath . " Damn right we are , " she replied , nudging me under the table . My parents joined us , and after a few bites of eggs and bacon , I cleared my throat . " I need to tell you both something . About Elowen . And where we need to go . " They listened . No interruptions . No judgment . I told them about her letters . Her real parentage . The spell . The witch in Scotland . The prophecy . The Aegis Protocol . Draven's face darkened . " So they're back , " he muttered . Luna Aelira reached across and squeezed Elowen's hand . " We'll protect you . Both of you . Whatever you need . " " And after graduation ? " Elowen asked , her voice quieter . " I'll handle the travel , " my father promised . " You finish school . Then we get you to that witch and figure this out . " I nodded , pride swelling in my chest . Then Elowen stiffened next to me and blinked . " Did you just hear that ? " I frowned . " Hear what ? " " You said ' I'm proud of you . ' But ... you didn't say it out loud . " 2/5 11:57 Mon , Sep 22 Chapter 16 I stared at her . :0 Can you hear me now ? I thought at her , on purpose this time . She gasped , nearly dropping her fork . Holy shit . Mind link , I replied in thought , grinning . Looks like we're really fucking bonded now . She smacked me again , laughing under her breath , cheeks pink . Yeah . She was mine . And we were just getting started . Elowen POV ( 64 My phone was having a full on meltdown . Ping . Ping . Buzz . Another ping . Taya was blowing me the hell up like I'd run off and married a rogue without telling her . Which , to be fair , wasn't that far off . " Do you think if I fake my death , she'll calm down ? " I muttered as Daxon pulled into my driveway . He just laughed , eyes still full of that smug alpha energy from last night . " You mated the alpha heir and didn't even give your best friend the play by play . You're lucky she hasn't summoned a search party . " " Honestly , she probably has . " He killed the engine , and we both just stared at the house for a second . My house . My home for the last five years . The one place I should feel grounded . So why did my stomach twist like I'd swallowed a live snake ? Maria and Eron were already on the porch , standing stiff as statues , coffee cups in hand , like they'd been waiting . Which was weird . They never waited for me . Usually , I came and went with a grunt and a wave . Maria was the first to speak , a tight smile on her face . " Good morning , Elowen . Daxon . " " Morning , " I replied , slinging my bag over my shoulder . 3/5 11:57 Mon , Sep 22 Chapter 16 " Alpha Draven filled us in after the ceremony , " Eron said , nodding toward Daxon . " Congratulations to you both . The mate bond is a powerful thing . " " Thank you , " Daxon said , polite and cool . But I could tell ... he was clocking the vibe too . They weren't surprised . Or even happy . Just ... neutral . Flat . Like they'd been expecting it . Which was bullshit . Nobody expected me to end up mated to the future alpha . Especially not with my baggage . " Come in , " Maria offered , stepping aside , but I shook my head . " Just grabbing my stuff . Daxon's giving me a ride to school . " Their eyes narrowed for half a second..just a flicker ... but it was enough . " Of course , " Eron said . " We'll see you tonight . Be safe . " Safe ? That word rang wrong in my ears . 64 . I walked past them and into the house , ignoring the prickling on the back of my neck . My room felt like a sanctuary and a cage at the same time . I shoved books into my backpack , grabbed my hoodie , and stood there for a second , staring at the chest in the corner . The chest my real parents left me . The chest that changed everything . They didn't ask about it . Not once . No curiosity . No concern . No " are you okay ? " They knew . They knew ... about the prophecy . About my magic . About who I really was . And they said nothing . 4/5 11:57 Mon , Sep 22 Chapter 16 I bolted back downstairs , kissed Maria on the cheek , hugged Eron with a mumbled goodbye , and practically ran to Daxon's truck . He opened the door for me and watched my face like a hawk . " Everything okay ? " " Totally , " I said with a too big smile . " Everything's totally fine . " Lie . He scowled . " I can literally smell your lie now Elowen . " I growled at him . " Not cool mate bond . " We backed out of the driveway and I swore I saw Maria watching from the kitchen window , her face unreadable . Inside , Lyssira was tense . " They're hiding something . " She spoke in ours minds . " I know , " I whispered , heart thudding as Daxon reached over to squeeze my hand . " They raised you , " he said quietly , " but they're not your blood . We'll find out the truth . Whatever it is . " I nodded , lips pressed tight . Because the truth ? It was already clawing its way to the surface . Chapter Comments B 4 Write Comments < SHARE Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
